The thing is, I don't know where the nest is, I think it might be under the lawn, so finding where to spray the stuff is a problem. I know what a wasp nest hanging from a shed roof would look like, but I have no idea what it looks like if it's on or under the ground.
The only idea I had so far was to capture one of them and then tie a really really small tin of paint to his leg and put a hole in it. Then when he flies back to his secret underground lair I just follow the paint.
Or else I'll just give them a couple of days to calm down after the trauma of being attached with a Flymo and then I'll see if I can spot where they are flying in and out of.

Hoosay read back a bit and I would say get the spray and do the area . What will happen is that the wasps will get the stuff on their legs bring it to the queen which will kill her and that will be the end of your problem , let us all know how you get on .

Anyone ever had a wasp nest on or under the ground?
I was out cutting the grass for the first time in a couple of months earlier, and I reckon I disturbed a nest as there's loads of wasps flying around the place.
Apparently they sometimes build nests in the grass or under the ground, but I'm not sure what they'd look like. Anyone ever seen one? how do you get rid of it?

Put a load of jam on your flute and then stick your lad into the bee hive and see what happens?

Any idea how long you leave it before you can remove the nest ???
As for the bat he's gone also but then again it was late last night so maybe he was off looking for food .
 
 
Congrats Murph for bravely, and single-handedly, defeating the stingers!
 
Incidentally, I bought and used that spray on a nest under the eaves of my house.......but despite using the whole can over a period of four days, they have survived, and the nest continues to flourishShocked...............must be Hornets.......you just cannot beat themWink
 
Hummmm as for your nest Hornet what I have been reading is when you get them in or on your house they little beggers have more than one entrance to the nest so you may get 75% of the nest covered but the wasps end up taking another route into the nest .
Now what a mate told me in London is that he got in the experts ( hey he didn't have my number ) and they put ANT powder around the entrance to some route into the nest with that the wasps would walk into it and take the powder on their legs to the queen then end game .
Look it's worth a try .
I was lucky as I got mine first time I had about 9 dead wasps that fell out of the nest when I looked last night Iwill still wait until the weekend before I move the nest thou .
Also my little Bat returned so I gave him a bit of a prod with the broom handle which he didn't like very much but got him out of the shed and yes Gaz he flew away before you ask .
